Nik “Rain Curry” Stauskas hasn’t gotten as much run in Brooklyn as I had hoped. Things started off fine, but recently he’s been notching DNPs and hadn’t made more than two shots in a game in this calendar year. If he’s not shooting well, it’s hard to play him, I understand that. But DNPs? Kenny…

Aaron Gordon 22 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2018)
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player of Aaron Gordon’s size and build do those stepback jumpers that he does. He’s so SPRINGY on those, and he jumps WAY back. It’s starting to seem like that’s his go to move; he even does it from behind the arc. Stepback threes are an iffy proposition…
Read MoreJahlil Okafor 21 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2018)
No exaggeration, Jahlil Okafor made Karl-Anthony Towns his bitch tonight. Just straight up abused him, repeatedly. I’ve been told that KAT is learning how to play defense this season; that claim has now been revealed to be a dirty, devious lie, a blatant fabrication to get him into the All-Star game. It worked, but you’d…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 11 Pts/16 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (1/27/2018)
Nikola Jokic went about 2.5 quarters in a row without scoring the single, solitary point he needed for the “points” component of his usual triple-double. Even as he acquired the other stats with ease, he stubbornly refused to score. I spent most of that time yelling at my stream, telling the other Nuggets to stop…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/27/2018)
Lance “Sorry Tommy” Stephenson just set a season-high in both points and assists in this game, helping the Pacers surge back from a huge deficit to steal a win from the Magic. The Magic might be total sewer trash, but this was still a gritty performance from a team that maybe lost some of its…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 14 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2018)
The Pistons are kinda sorta imploding right now. They’re 8 and 19 since December, and while this isn’t a full-scale Cavs-esque locker-room brawl kind of implosion, you can tell that not all is as it should be. So what’s the deal? You thought you knew what I was going to propose as a solution, and…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 20 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2018)
Oops! Almost forgot to do this Enes Kanter video. Oops part two: and I almost forgot to show him beefing it up with Devin Booker after decisively rejecting his weaksauce layup attempt. I have to say, what’s up with Kanter and beefing with people? He loves playing the role of the antagonist. Not as confrontational…
